(Carbon Fiber Manufacturing), Sacramento, California An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones
(FTZ)Board (the Board) by the Sacramento-Yolo Port District Commission, grantee of FTZ 143, requesting special-purpose subzone status with manufacturing authority for carbon fiber products at the facilities of Grafil, Inc. (Grafil), located in Sacramento, California. The application was submitted pursuant to the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed on August 14, 2007. The proposed subzone would be composed of two sites in Sacramento, California: *Site 1* - manufacturing and distribution facility (65,000 square feet (including a proposed addition of 5,000 sq. ft.) of enclosed space on 10 acres), located at 5900 88th Street; and, *Site 2* - warehousing and distribution facility (46,000 sq. ft. space (within a larger 127,249 sq. ft. building) on 1 acre) located at 6003 88 th Street, less than a half mile south of Site 1. The Grafil facilities (109 employees) manufacture polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber products, including carbon fiber for commercial applications, such as sporting goods and automotive products, as well as precision cut fibers. The company is proposing to manufacture carbon fiber under zone procedures using foreign-sourced polyacrylonitrile
(PAN)precursor, accounting for some 26 percent of finished product value. FTZ procedures would exempt Grafil from customs duty payments on foreign materials used in production for export. Some 28 percent of the plant's shipments are exported. On its domestic shipments, the company would be able to choose the duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to finished carbon fiber products (duty-free) for the otherwise dutiable foreign PAN precursor (duty rates - 7.5%% to 8%%). The application indicates that FTZ procedures would help improve the plant's international competitiveness. In accordance with the Board's regulations, a member of the FTZ staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and report to the Board. Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions (original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at the address below. The closing period for their receipt is October 23, 2007. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period (to November 7, 2007). A copy of the application will be available for public inspection at each of the following locations: U.S. Department of Commerce Export Assistance Center, 1410 Ethan Way, Sacramento, California 95825; and, Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 2111, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230-0002.

(Airbag Fabric for Export), Holyoke, Massachusetts An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) by the Holyoke Economic Development and Industrial Corporation, grantee of FTZ 201, requesting special-purpose subzone status for the manufacture of airbag fabric for export only at the facility of Mastex Industries, Inc. (Mastex), located in Holyoke, Massachusetts. The application was submitted pursuant to the provisions of the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed on August 16, 2007. The Mastex facility (60 employees, 6 acres, 30 million yard capacity) is located on Cabot and Bigelow Streets, in Holyoke, Massachusetts. The facility will be used for the water jet weaving of fabric for automotive airbags (HTS duty rate 13.6%%) using imported high-tenacity nylon yarn (duty rate 8.8%%). The yarn would be admitted to the subzone in privileged foreign status (i.e., duty rate could not change under FTZ procedures). FTZ procedures would exempt Mastex from customs duty payments on the foreign components used in export production to non-NAFTA countries, approximately 50 percent of the plant's shipments. On sales to NAFTA markets, Mastex would be able to defer the duty on the imported yarn. The request indicates that the savings from FTZ procedures would help improve the plant's international competitiveness. In accordance with the Board's regulations, a member of the FTZ staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and report to the Board. Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions (original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at the address below. The closing period for their receipt is October 23, 2007. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period to November 7, 2007.

The Act further provides, however, that the Department may extend that 245-day period to up to 365 days if it determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the foregoing time period. The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results of the administrative review of CVP-23 from the PRC within this time limit because we need additional time in order to determine the appropriate surrogate values with which to value factors of production. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is extending the time period for completion of the preliminary results of this review by 100 days until December 11, 2007. The final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results. This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On February 2, 2007, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published in the **Federal Register** a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Brazil for the period February 1, 2006, through January 31, 2007. *See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review* , 72 FR 5007 (February 2, 2007). On February 28, 2007, the petitioner 1 and the Louisiana Shrimp Association (LSA), a domestic interested party, requested an administrative review for numerous Brazilian exporters of subject merchandise in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(2)(1). 1 The petitioner in this proceeding is the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee. On March 16, 2007, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the petitioner withdrew its request for administrative review for SM Pescados Industria Comercio E Exportacao Ltda. and Valenca da Bahia Maricultura SA. On April 6, 2007, the Department initiated an administrative review for 40 companies and requested that each provide data on the quantity and value (Q&V) of its exports of subject merchandise to the United States during the period of review (POR). These companies are listed in the Department's notice of initiation. *See Notice of Initiation of Administrative Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders on Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Brazil, Ecuador, India and Thailand* , 72 FR 17100 (April 6, 2007). The Department was unable to locate three of these producers/exporters due to incorrect and/or incomplete addresses. Between April and July 2007 the Department received Q&V questionnaire responses from certain producers/exporters that indicated that they had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. On July 5, 2006, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the petitioner withdrew its request for review for Empaf - Empresa de Armazenagem Firgorifica Ltda. and Maricultura Netuno SA. 2 Also on July 5, 2007, the LSA withdrew its requests for review for Netuno Alimentos SA (formerly known as Empaf - Empresa de Armazenagem Frigorifica Ltda.), SM Pescados Industria Comercio e Exportacao Ltda., and Valenca da Bahia Maricultura SA. 2 In the original investigation, the Department found that Empresa de Armazenagem Frigorifica Ltda. and Maricultura Netuno S.A. comprised a single entity. (The company name “Empaf - Empresa de Armazenagem Frigorifica Ltda” is a variation of the name Empresa de Armazenagem Frigorifica Ltda.) *See Notice of Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination: Certain Frozen and Canned Warmwater Shrimp from Brazil* , 69 FR 47081, 47084 (August 4, 2004) (unchanged in final determination). Partial Rescission of Review On March 16, 2007, and July 5, 2007, the requests for administrative review were withdrawn for three companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). These companies are: 1) Netuno Alimentos SA (formerly known as Empaf - Empresa de Armazenagem Frigorifica Ltda.); 2) SM Pescados Industria Comercio e Exportacao Ltda.; and 3) Valenca da Bahia Maricultura SA. Section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations requires that the Secretary rescind an administrative review if a party requesting a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation. Therefore, because all requests for administrative reviews were timely withdrawn for the companies listed above, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this review with regard to these companies. In addition, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), we are rescinding the review with respect to the following 16 companies because these companies submitted Q&V responses stating that they had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR: 1) Artico S.A.; 2) Bramex Brasil Mercantil Ltda.; 3) Camanor Produtos Marinhos Ltda.; 4) Compex - Industria E Comercio de Pesca E Exportacao Ltda.; 5) Leardini Pescados Ltda.; 6) Lusomar Maricultura Ltda.; 7) MM Monteiro Pesca E Exportacao Ltda.; 8) Maricultura Rio Grandense Ltda.; 9) Maricultura Tropical Ltda.; 10) Mucuripe Pesca Ltda.; 11) Natal Pesca; 12) Norte Pesca S/A; 13) Potiguar Alimentos do Mar Ltda.; 14) Potipora Aquacultura Ltda.; 15) Sohagro Marina do Nordeste S.A.; and 16) Torquato Pontes Pescados S.A. We reviewed U.S. Customs and Border Protection data and confirmed that there were no entries of subject merchandise from any of these companies. *See* the Memorandum to The File from Kate Johnson entitled, “Department Intent to Rescind Reviews in Part,” dated July 19, 2007 ( *Intent to Rescind Memo* ).

Further, the Department was unable to locate accurate addresses for the following companies, and thus was unable to serve them with any information requests in this case: 1) Cina Cia Nordeste de Aquicultura Alimentacao; 2) Guy Vautrin Importacao & Exportacao; and, 3) Marine Maricultura do Nordeste SA. *See* the *Intent to Rescind Memo* .

Partial Rescission of Review On March 16, 2007, and July 5, 2007, the requests for administrative review of Sociedad Atlantico Pacifico were withdrawn, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations requires that the Secretary rescind an administrative review if a party requesting a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation.

(202)482-0410 and
(202)482-1690, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background At the request of EuroChem, a Russian producer and exporter of solid urea from Russia, the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated a new-shipper review of the antidumping duty order on solid urea from Russia for the period July 1, 2006, through December 31, 2006. *See Solid Urea from Russia: Notice of Initiation of Antidumping Duty New-Shipper Review* , 72 FR 9930 (March 6, 2007). The preliminary results of this new-shipper review are currently due no later than August 26, 2007. Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of the New-Shipper Review Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of a new-shipper review of an antidumping duty order within 180 days after the date on which the review is initiated. The Act provides further that, if the case is extraordinarily complicated, the Department may extend the 180-day period to 300 days. We determine that this new-shipper review is extraordinarily complicated and that it is not possible to complete the preliminary results by the current deadline of August 26, 2007. Specifically, we have received a complex sales-below-cost allegation and an allegation of a major input provided at prices not reflective of market conditions which requires further consideration. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2), we are extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results of this review by 113 days to December 17, 2007. The final results of this new-shipper review continue to be due 90 days after the date of issuance of the preliminary results of the new-shipper review. This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: August 21, 2007.

(202)482-0133 and
(202)482-0182, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On July 17, 2007, the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) initiated the countervailing duty investigation of light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from the People's Republic of China. *See Notice of Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigation: Light-Walled Rectangular Pipe and Tube from the People's Republic of China* , 72 FR 40281 (July 24, 2007). Currently, the preliminary determination is due no later than September 20, 2007. Postponement of Due Date for Preliminary Determination Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (“the Act”), requires the Department to issue the preliminary determination in a countervailing duty investigation within 65 days after the date on which the Department initiated the investigation. However, if the Department concludes that the parties concerned in the investigation are cooperating and determines that the investigation is extraordinarily complicated, section 703(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act allows the Department to postpone making the preliminary determination until no later than 130 days after the date on which the administering authority initiated the investigation. The Department concludes that, thus far, the parties concerned are cooperating. Furthermore, due to the number and complexity of the alleged countervailable subsidy practices being investigated, which include loans, grants, income tax programs, provision of goods or services for less than adequate remuneration and government restraints on exports, it is not practicable to complete the preliminary determination of this investigation within the original time limit ( *i.e.* , September 20, 2007). Therefore, in accordance with section 703(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, we are fully extending the due date for the preliminary determination to no later than 130 days after the day on which the investigation was initiated ( *i.e.* , November 26, 2007).

ACTION: Solicitation of public comments concerning a review undertaken at the request of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service of existing exemptions for aircraft of foreign registry from certain internal revenue taxes on the purchase of supplies in the United States for such aircraft in connection with their international commercial operations. SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to section 4221 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (26 U.S.C. 4221), the Department of Commerce is undertaking to determine whether the governments of the countries or economies listed herein allow or will allow substantially reciprocal tax exemptions to aircraft of U.S. registry in connection with international commercial operations similar to those exemptions currently granted to or available to aircraft of those countries or economies by the United States under the aforementioned statute. The basis for this undertaking is a request from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for a comprehensive review of the existing findings to determine whether those countries or economies previously subject to exemptions from certain U.S. internal revenue taxes continue to allow substantially reciprocal tax exemptions to aircraft of U.S. registry. The above-cited statute provides exemptions for aircraft of foreign registry from payment of certain internal revenue taxes on the purchase of supplies in the United States for such aircraft in connection with their international commercial operations. These exemptions apply upon a finding by the Secretary of Commerce, or his designee, and communicated to the Department of the Treasury, that such country allows, or will allow, “substantially reciprocal privileges” to aircraft of U.S. registry with respect to purchases of such supplies in that country. The Department of Commerce proposes that aircraft registered in the following countries or economies be provided exemptions as allowed by section 4221 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (26 U.S.C. 4221).
